Australia, 1952

BOB BURRUWAL was born in 1952 and is married to Lena Yarinkura and often works collaboratively with her.

He is renowned for making sculptures in fibre and wood. Burruwal evokes both ceremonial and everyday life through the making of sculptures carrying various accessories such as dancing belts, dilly bags and armbands.

His work has also appeared in numerous group exhibitions and the centrepiece of his work in the 2004 Annandale Galleries show was a large fibre and wood crocodile, 3 metres in length.
